Programme Printing

Programme Of Events

Turn your event into a truly memorable experience with our high-quality printed programmes. Whether you’re organising a theatre show, festival, wedding, charity fundraiser, or corporate event, we can transform your designs into professional programmes that inform, engage, and impress your audience. From small gatherings to large-scale festivals, every event can benefit from a professionally printed programme. These are perfect for:

• Concerts & Music Festivals – Provide setlists, artist bios, and event schedules.

• Theatre Productions – Give audiences cast information, production notes, and behind-the-scenes insights.

• Weddings & Special Celebrations – Share the order of service, personal messages, and guest details.

• Corporate Events & Conferences – Create structured agendas, speaker profiles, and sponsor highlights.

• Charity Fundraisers & Community Events – Inform attendees about the cause, key supporters, and event activities.

We offer complete flexibility in size, format, and finish, ensuring your programme is tailored to your event’s needs. Options include:

• Page count: From a few pages to a full book, your programme can be as concise or comprehensive as needed.

• Paper types: Choose from uncoated, silk, or glossy finishes to match the look and feel of your event.

• Custom covers: Elevate your programme with laminated covers for added durability and a premium finish.

Why Stop at Programmes? Boost Your Event with Branded Merchandise! Printed programmes are just the beginning! Make your event stand out with branded merchandise that attendees will love. Using your programme artwork, we can easily create custom:

• Hoodies & T-Shirts – Perfect for event staff, volunteers, or as commemorative festival wear.

Setting Up Design Files For Programme Printing

For help with programme printing visit the resource Hub where we have a handy booklet help section. For programmes, please submit artwork as one file in running order from front cover to back cover.

For example, a 40-page brochure should be supplied as one PDF with the front cover as page 1 and the back cover as page 40, with 38 pages running in order in between.

These programmes  must contain a page total divisible by 4.

It is recommended you do not place words, page numbers or images too close to the edges of each page.  We would recommend a safe zone on all sides of at least 5mm for saddle-stitched brochures.

• Include 3mm bleed on all sides

• We recommend a 5mm (ideally 10mm) safe zone for a better finish

• Supply as a CMYK PDF

• Outline or embed fonts

• 300dpi resolution

For more guidance on how to successfully set up and submit your artwork, see our booklets and brochures help pages.
